When last I reviewed the current state of the Penguins, it was back in June, just before the draft. There were a decent number of unknowns that have since sorted themselves out. Let’s look again at the current makeup of the team as we head into mid-August. The upcoming season is a mere two months away.
The current roster looks like this (8/8/13):
Line 1A:
Sidney Crosby
Chris Kunitz
Pascal Dupuis
Line 1B:
Evgeni Malkin
James Neal
Beau Bennett
Line 3:
Brandon Sutter
Matt D'Agostini
Jussi Jokinen
Line 4 and Bench:
Joe Vitale
Craig Adams
Tanner Glass
Dustin Jeffery
Top Defensive Paring:
Paul Martin
Kris Letang
2nd Defensive Paring:
Brooks Orpik
Simon Despres
3rd Defensive Paring and Bench:
Rob Scuderi
Matt Niskanen
Robert Bortuzzo
Deryk Engalland
Goaltenders:
Marc-Andre Fleury
Tomas Vokoun
You may of course disagree with the roster pairings I have created, and that’s fine as training camp will determine how the lines are built.
